Rumor: Apple to Launch Touchscreen iMac
Another manic Monday with the rumormongers.
There have been tons and tons of rumors about the Apple tablet over the last 12 months. Yes, Apple's foray into the touchscreen PC market is very well documented for a product that has yet to be announced.
Today we're looking at a horse of another color: The possibility of a touchscreen iMac. Digitimes reports that Apple has plans to turn its all-in-one iMac into an all-in-one touchscreen PC.
Citing a Chinese-language Commercial Times report, Digitimes says Apple will launch a 22-inch touch-enabled all-in-one PC in 2010. The new machine will add to Apple's line of iMacs, which includes a 21.5- and a 27-inch model.
Read the original report here.

Wouldn't it be funny if this turns out to be the January 27th announcement, not a tablet!
don't care...
Of course this will be the best thing since sliced bread completely disregarding the fact that touchscreen PCs have been around for years.
I wonder if the local restaurant will buy one of these to replace the current generation iMac it has sitting in the window doing nothing but displaying the menu.

so for you the highest scientific advance in the past 3000 years had been sliced bread.
knew this was going to happen. iMac screams touchscreen.
Has anyone seen an all-in-one touchscreen from HP/DELL actually be used for anything useful besides a cash register?
I couldn't resist doomtomb... Fixed that for you...

If this is sarcasm, it's a great one. If you're serious, just google the apple store.
Yes, i see them used all the time for playing card and board games and also used for receipes in the
Kitchen. Touch screens are the future as are 3D Tv's. Bring it on!
yay now ALL Apple deviced can be smeared with finger grease
Could you guys just combine all the Apple-related rumors into one topic per day or something? This is getting ridiculous.
There are no new products to create. Only refinements remain.
Nice one Jane,
Just to bad you screwed it up with your almost funny comment.
Great, now a few years from now I will be debating the Apple-loyalists who will be claiming Microsoft stole the touch screen from Apple.
"buy apple's touchscreen with a intel Celeron and Nvidia 5900 FX for only 8999.99!!!!"

Nah, I think I'll just build a sweet gaming pc with several large screens, a projector, and a sound system for my whole house.

At this rate, Apple is going to dominate the not too distant future of the Home Information System, where many rooms have computers, for different purposes all having networked storage and back up, with PC's just doing the grunt work of processing and storing apps locally. Apple unfortunately could do this easily with their purpose built hardware and software, where in the windows realm it's somewhat painful for the average user (win 7 has some useful features targeting this but haven't tried them yet, still have vista and don't intend on upgrading any time soon, not enough spare time). Potentially a good small business opportunity though.....Rather than just selling PC's sell the Home Information System and Services .
don't care for any touch computer, be it apple or some other company for that matter. why in the heck would you like to stare at your finger prints while surfing the web or watching a movie? i'll stick to the good old mouse which is much more accurate and don't have to wipe my monitor every freaking day. the touch feature for a cell phone is ok but not for a computer. i guess everyone is jumping on the touch bandwagon, lol, morons.
so for you the highest scientific advance in the past 3000 years had been sliced bread.
But, I love sliced bread!

Sometimes, making a old product better is all you need.
You like that we run 3GHz quad core processors in our Crysis rigs instead of 1MHz processors, right?
Wouldn't mind having a 22" touch screen iMac in one of my local restaruants to order everything. (Also wouldn't mind having a 50" plasma and a 5GHz i7 with 12GB of DDR3 2133MHz to play Crysis while I wait for my order.)
Any chance Jane can actually do her job without people commenting on the crapness of the articles?
If you dont want to spend your valuable time reading spurious Apple rumours then pleae bypass the story completely and read the next one instead.

i laughed at this...wish it was true

Please go there instead of pissing and moaning.
Fact, Apple is involved in the consumer electronics business, when they do something it makes the news. No one complains when Microsoft, Dell, HP or Google stories are posted. If people hate Apple so much then please vent spleen elsewhere.
